Chapter 57: Celebration

Merlin looked down at Rahman's body, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Because of his heart, he still didn't feel any relief from the curse.

Perhaps it was because the Chaotic Clan didn't practice magic power and battle qi, so it had no effect on relieving Merlin's curse.

Chaotic family?It's really an unbelievable race. They don't need to practice magic and martial arts to have such a strong fighting ability...

Merlin frowned, feeling that he hadn't gained much from this trip, and maybe in a few days, the curse in his heart would recur.

Because Elizabeth was not at ease, she sent Catherine out to check the situation, in case there was any unexpected situation, maybe she could help at a critical moment?

Although Catherine was not ruthlessly willing to leave Elizabeth, she was afraid that there would be another surprise attack.

But under Elizabeth's repeated requests, Catherine had no choice but to come over to see the situation reluctantly.

As a result, as soon as Catherine arrived, she saw the scene where Elgin hacked Rahman to death with a knife.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the head and face, splashing on the ground like flowers blooming.

The huge Rahman was cut in half and his body fell to the ground sprayed with blood.

The seemingly ordinary scene turned out to shock Catherine greatly

Such a tricky enemy couldn't resist Elgin's blow from the Great Swordsman? !

It is obviously an existence that seems to be able to absorb magic power and vindictiveness, but it has no power to fight back in front of Elgin's great swordsman! ?

In fact, the ability of the Chaos Clan to devour magic power and fighting spirit has no effect on Merlin, because he has no magic power and fighting spirit at all.

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Catherine's forehead, but it was quickly washed away by the rain. Although her eyes were always closed, it did not affect her eyesight.

She couldn't figure out what method Elgin Great Swordsman used?Perfectly evades the tricky abilities of the enemy and defeats them easily.

Catherine doesn't believe that the guy who claims to be the chaotic Big Three has been weakened. The only explanation is probably

It's not that Rahman is too weak, it's simply that Elgin's great sword is so powerful...

◇

After Rahman's death, the United Army was completely disintegrated, and it was difficult to organize another attack.

Elizabeth made a decisive decision, immediately organized a living force, and started a big counterattack.

The remnants of the United Legion were beaten and retreated steadily, and soon surrendered, declaring the defeat of the war.

a week later

Elizabeth, who had won a great victory, successfully suppressed the rebellion, and took over all the wealth of the Ofrey family in all aspects, and used it for the revival of the imperial capital.

However, when dealing with the Ofrey family, the Grand Duke was already dead, which surprised Elizabeth for a few days.

She didn't know that Ofrey was killed by Rahman, and speculated that Ofrey might have chosen to commit suicide seeing the defeat of the war.

Of course, what puzzled Elizabeth the most was the appearance of a monster claiming to be a chaotic race, but no matter how much she investigated, she couldn't get any convincing results.

Therefore, Elizabeth did not delve into it, but put this issue on hold for the time being, and regarded the revival of the imperial capital as a delay.

After the situation in the empire stabilized, Elizabeth planned to send some people to go deep into the unknown sea again to check.

Peace was restored to the turbulent Great Britain, news of the victory of the war spread like wildfire, and the people of the imperial capital who fled everywhere began to return home one after another.

All the aristocratic lords who participated in the quelling of the war of judgment have won a lot of merit, as well as some territorial awards and local privileges.

At this time, the imperial capital is in a thriving scene. Although it is a bit dilapidated now, it is only a matter of time before revival.

Restoring the lake under the imperial capital was also listed by Elizabeth as a top priority. It was the habitat of the goblins in the lake, hiding the lifeblood of the empire, and it must be repaired as soon as possible.

The heroic deeds of Elgin's great swordsman smashing the United Legion soon spread to the streets of the empire.

For Elgin, the Great Swordsman, the public respected him besides admiration, and regarded him as a great hero who has never been seen before or since.

Many people already knew that he was in the imperial capital at this time, so there were more and more people in the dilapidated imperial capital these days, and it was almost overcrowded.

Many people gathered under the city wall of the royal court, and even set up tents for the night. They refused to leave just to see the real Elgin Great Swordsman.

This posture is comparable to the most grand pilgrimage ceremony of the Holy See. It is no exaggeration to say that the most prosperous time of the imperial capital was not as good as the current situation.

It can be seen that Elgin's great swordsman's appeal has really reached an unprecedented level. People seem to love this unknown hero more than their queen.

Merlin, the great demon king, has inexplicably confirmed the position of the savior of the empire, and everyone is willing to believe this reason.

However, at this time, Merlin, like a migrant worker, was struggling to get his salary.

In the royal court's conference hall, there were only Merlin and Elizabeth at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the situation seems to have stabilized now, and my task has been completed. I think you should fulfill the agreement?" Merlin said while sitting at the conference table, leaning on the soft sofa.

"Huh?" Elizabeth sat opposite Merlin, blinking her eyes, and said innocently, "A promise? What promise?"

"Tsk!" Merlin frowned. He was very displeased with Elizabeth's acting stupid. No matter in any era, defaulting on wages for migrant workers is an extremely shameful act.

"Oh~, I remembered. Help Your Excellency pay off the debt owed to the Holy See, right?" Elizabeth showed a look of sudden realization.

"That's right, we made an agreement before, don't try to get away with it, the money to help me pay off my debts can't be less than a copper coin." Merlin said with a very serious expression.

"Well..." Elizabeth pondered for a moment, raised her head and said seriously, "No problem, I am willing to help you financially, as a repayment for your kindness in supporting us this time."

"That's about the same~" Merlin showed a satisfied smile on his face, thinking that he would soon regain his freedom, and thinking about it, he was a little excited~

"However, before you fulfill your promise, you need to do a little favor, otherwise I won't help you repay your debt to the Holy See..." Elizabeth changed the subject and made another condition.

"Ah?" Merlin was stunned for a moment, sat up straight, and said with dissatisfaction on his face, "Hey, give me a little bit of moderation, don't push me too hard, or if everyone breaks up, I won't make it easier for you .”

"Mr. Merlin, please calm down. Now everyone is negotiating calmly. If there is any dissatisfaction, we can discuss it." Elizabeth said with a smile on her face.

But Merlin, who is immune to the smiles of beautiful women, has almost no effect. Who knows what kind of conspirator's face is hidden under that kind smile?

"There's nothing to talk about. Now you need to help me pay my debts, and no additional demands are allowed. This is the bottom line."

"I will pay your debts, but you just need to do a little favor..." Elizabeth paused, and continued, "You don't need to travel tiredly, and you don't need to use force. You just need to put on a mask. Just walk around the capital."

"Huh?" Merlin tilted his head, it sounded as easy as taking a walk, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not a bad thing..." The corners of Elizabeth's slightly pursed lips drew a beautiful arc

"I have arranged a grand parade for you, and I hope you can participate."

"This is a stage specially built for heroes, you are the protagonist..."

(~~▽~)~

Chapter 58: Monthly Ticket Addition

"A grand parade?" Merlin frowned, he didn't seem to like this thing very much.

"That's right, I think you know it too?" Elizabeth paused, then continued, "Now there are a lot of people gathered outside who want to see Your Excellency."

"So what? Those people outside have nothing to do with me." Merlin's tone was helpless. He hated being pestered. Treat it as a traitor.

If Merlin were an ordinary demon, he wouldn't worry about these things, but it just so happened that he was a noble monarch.

Even in the state of being fired now, every word and deed will represent the position of the demons, and it is easy to be passed on to the ears of the demon council, and they will be stabbed severely in the spine and say some ugly words.

Now Merlin is very glad that he has been wearing a mask all the time, no one knows his background, otherwise the human empire will not be able to survive, and the demon clan's hometown will also have great dissatisfaction.

"How can you have nothing to do with it at all? You are now a popular figure in the empire, and your reputation has spread to other empires. As a public figure, you have the responsibility to guide your believers." Elizabeth said emotionally Reasonably said.

A large bead of sweat dripped down on Merlin's forehead, thinking what the hell is a believer! ?When did I become a believer in a cult?

"Well, even if I have some responsibilities, there's no need to cause such trouble. Why don't you use a little strong voice for some grand parade?"

"It's a pity, I've already tried the method you said, and I can't drive it away at all. Now is the critical moment to revive the imperial capital. This kind of thing is really a headache~" Elizabeth rubbed her forehead with her hands, My eyes secretly looked at Merlin's demeanor, "I have already prepared the money for Your Excellency, but now this matter makes me a little bit burnt out, and I don't have the extra energy to fulfill the agreement~"

"Tsk! You bastard...you're really cunning." Merlin said through gritted teeth, and finally understood what it means to owe the money to the uncle.

Elizabeth is a fine person, I'm afraid it's a lie to disperse the onlookers, but it's true to use my reputation to stabilize the current situation...

◇

In fact, the real situation is similar to what Merlin guessed, Elizabeth just has her own little plan.

Compared with Elgin, the great swordsman, the prestige of the royal family of the empire is indeed at a disadvantage, and its appeal is extremely strong.

Therefore, it is a bit unwise to choose to fight with force, and it is a move that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

In addition, Elgin's great swordsman's strength is there, and it is not a hard bone that the imperial family can bite at all.

Fortunately, Elizabeth saw that Merlin didn't seem to have great ambitions, and he was relatively safe. He belonged to the type that you don't mess with me, and I don't bother to mess with you.

The most important point is that the entire empire needs Elgin, the great swordsman, and must not become hostile.

The reason is that for an empire to stand in this world, it needs a very strong deterrent force, which is the trump card, otherwise it will easily arouse the coveted hearts of other empires, and it will be invaded and plundered brutally.

Now that the world is in a period of relative peace, isn't it because the force of each empire is more balanced?

Now the goblin in the lake has fallen into a long-term dormancy, the British Empire has lost its trump card, and its deterrence against other empires has weakened.

In this case, Elgin's great swordsman is extremely important, and Elizabeth is thinking about making full use of the great swordsman's reputation to make him the nominal guardian of the empire.

All kinds of factors combined, Elizabeth chose to use a more gentle strategy to deal with Elgin, the great swordsman, and wanted to take this ride.

The meaning is to rub the heat of Elgin, the great swordsman, so as to achieve Elizabeth's two goals

One is to let all the people in the empire see the friendship between the great swordsman Elgin and the royal family, stabilize the situation within the empire, and better demonstrate the broad-mindedness of the royal family.

Second, it is to act for other empires who are eyeing them. In layman's terms, we are very familiar with Elgin Great Swordsman. Don't think that the goblin in the lake can't be used, we are just persimmons.

In fact, Merlin knew all about Elizabeth's calculations in her heart, and he was also the ruler. How could a little Jiujiu of this level not know?

Merlin had his own considerations in his mind, mainly because the idea of ​​living a peaceful life prevailed.

He must be unwilling to keep the empire in turmoil all the time, and it is easy to break his relatively peaceful life.

Even if Merlin won't take the initiative to make trouble, some things will come to him by himself, not to mention there is a stinky woman at home who shouts "justice must prevail" every day?

Anyway, Merlin wouldn't admit that he missed Elizabeth's promise, so he agreed to go out for a couple of laps!
